What Is the Freezing Point for Plants?
What Is the Freezing Point for Plants?. Most plants like moderate temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. However, there are some plants that thrive in extreme heat, while others thrive in cold.
Most plants like moderate temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. However, there are some plants that thrive in extreme heat, while others thrive in cold.
Frost
The beginning of the freezing point is when frost occurs. Frost happens when the outside temperature hits the dew point, and then drops down to freezing, leaving a thin layer of ice on the plants.
Damage
Frost will damage plants more in the spring, because that is when plants have new growth. Frost in the winter usually does not affect a plant as badly, because the plant is already acclimated to the cold.
Freezing Point
All plants have different freezing points. The amount of water the plants have in their cells and the cell size determines when the plants will freeze. Frost occurs when the temperature hits freezing at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or 0 degrees Celsius.
